Re: comments on forward and reverse transit nhs record extensions.

Rajesh,

	As it is now, only Vendor Private Extensions are allowed to be
repeated (and that mostly because VPEs may be added by devices made by
different vendors in the same query/response path).  This makes for a
significant simplification for most extensions because once you have
hadnled it, you can forget it.

	Are you sure that the "simplification" you seek is worth the 
complexity it adds?
